The word around the Transit Advocates is that a Gag Order was released from the TTC and Metrolinx for the dramatic changes they are now letting people know about..?

The Ontario College of Art has competitions for art being displayed on the Monitors of TTC stations, and the new competitions will be for high school students, but we should see much more art in the near future for TTC stations, and not just on monitors. Public pressure?
With 3/4 million taking the TTC, why don't they display their art, and have them permanently displayed at stations?, Commissioners would pay for the projects!

Tyler Hamilton, Energy Reporter in the Toronto Star Monday February 11th:

PROVINCE GIVES $15 MILLION TO GREEN PROJECTS, but industry observers say it won't address or solve anything long term or for environmental problems.
~~~~ Don't you find that ironic?

On Friday, the gov't announced investing $8.7 million to support development of next-generation green vehicles.

Yet I still don't see ZENN cars on the roads, but we allow bicylces and scooters, so do they need the tax from gas sales that bad or do Auto Corporations define their policies? (Mike Harris works at Magna International and the Fraser Institute right-wing think tank, I think his monthly pension would be more than want David Miller gets a month)!

I emailed Bob Nicols, about that he's the Communications Director for Transport Canada, his # is 416.327.1158, and his email is bob.nichols@ontario.ca., if anybody else wants to request a list of what the $8.7 million is used for and where the money is going.

I think the money is being used to pay for the people to try to change the policies!

But foreign corporations own Canada, (due to the Free Trade Agreement, which isn't a real genuine agreement.... and Corporations own the government, yet stockholders are the owners of corporations,......?

Canada could design a new genuine free trade agreement due to a clause which allows them to do so if they give the US 6 months notice but Canada isn't interested, but this is precisely why manufacturing jobs are leaving the country like crazy, if you google Paul Hellyer on YouTube, he explains the situation, and has written a book called "Goodbye Canada". 2% of the money flow comes from the Bank of Canada, the rest we pay interest on which is from Private Banks and has been since 1974 when Canada joined the G7.
